What Is Tax Resolution?
Tax resolution is the process of addressing outstanding tax liabilities, IRS notices, penalties, audits, collection actions, or other tax problems and determining which available resolution options may apply.
Depending on the circumstances, a taxpayer may need to file missing returns, respond to an IRS notice, request penalty relief, establish a payment arrangement, or pursue another available resolution option.
The appropriate solution depends on factors such as the taxpayer’s filing history, tax liability, financial circumstances, and the specific requirements of the IRS or state tax agency.
Tax Problems We Can Help You Address
IRS Tax Debt and Back Taxes
Unpaid federal taxes can result in penalties, interest, and collection actions. We review outstanding tax balances and help identify appropriate steps for addressing back taxes.
IRS Notices
Receiving an IRS notice can be confusing, particularly when it involves an unpaid balance, proposed adjustment, missing return, or audit. We can review the notice and help you understand what action may be required.
IRS Audit Representation
If you are selected for an IRS audit, professional representation can help you understand the process and communicate with the IRS. KayaTax provides IRS audit representation for eligible taxpayers.
Tax Penalty Abatement
Some taxpayers may qualify for relief from certain tax penalties depending on their circumstances. We can review the applicable facts and documentation to determine whether penalty relief may be available.
Installment Agreements
Taxpayers who cannot pay their tax liability in full may have payment plan options available. We can review your situation and explain the requirements associated with applicable IRS payment arrangements.
Offers in Compromise
An Offer in Compromise may be available to certain taxpayers who meet IRS eligibility requirements. Qualification depends on factors such as income, expenses, assets, and ability to pay.
Tax Liens and Levies
Tax liens and levies can create significant financial concerns. If collection action has been initiated, we can help you understand the situation and discuss potential next steps.
Unfiled Tax Returns
Missing tax returns can make an existing tax problem more complicated. We can help identify outstanding filing requirements and assist with bringing your tax filings up to date.
IRS Tax Resolution Services
KayaTax provides support for taxpayers dealing with a range of IRS-related tax issues. Depending on the circumstances, services may include IRS notice assistance, audit representation, tax debt resolution, penalty relief, payment arrangements, and assistance with outstanding tax returns.

When representation is appropriate and properly authorized, an authorized tax professional can communicate with the IRS on your behalf within the scope of the applicable authorization.
California State Tax Resolution
Federal tax problems are not the only issues taxpayers may face. Individuals and businesses in California may also need assistance with state tax notices, audits, sales tax matters, and other state-level tax issues.
